Cod Lemon Tarragon

I have some fresh cod and was going to bake it in foil with some lemon and butter. I have a tarragon plant and wondered if a few leaves would help or hinder the flavour. Also should I add and garlic or white wine.

Please help, first time poster and not much time til dinner!!

Thanks in advance

Hi Benny and welcome -

Of course you can season with tarragon and you can add garlic and white wine if you want. All of this will compliment your lemon pepper.

Welcome aboard -

Enjoy your fish and let us know how it turned out!

Just to let you know how i got on

I baked for 20 minutes and i think it was a little overdone even though they were quite thick fillets. Liquor was a little thin also and I think a little reducing would have helped if i had the patience.

All in all not a bad result

Other than being overcooked a bit - it doesn't sound bad!

I don't know how long you cooked the fish - but when I bake fillets - it's usually 20 - 25 minutes (depending on fillet size) at 375 - 400* F. When it flakes with a fork it is done.
